Two men have been arrested for raping and robbing two kindergarten assistants in Pandan Indah

KUALA LUMPUR: Two men have been arrested for raping and robbing two kindergarten assistants.

On July 14, two victims, aged 21 and 19, were sleeping in a room in a kindergarten in Pandan Indah before two masked men sneaked in at around 4am.

Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Assistant Commissioner Hamzah Alias said the 21-year-old victim woke up at 4am when she heard someone knocking her door.

“When she opened the door, she saw two masked men holding on to the 19-year-old victim, who had had her mouth taped by the suspects.

“One of the men then brandished a knife at the 21-year-old victim and another man taped her mouth and tied her hands with a rope.

“One of the men then brought the 19-year-old victim out from the room,” he said today.

Hamzah said one of the suspects pushed the 21-year-old victim onto the bed when they were told no valuable items were kept in the kindergarten.

“He then threatened the victim before raping her. He also poured bleach onto the victim’s face and body as well as took away a mobile phone and a television,” he said.

Another man pulled the 19-year-old victim into another room and grabbed the victim’s neck before pushing her onto the bed.

“He covered the victim’s face with her cloth and hit her on stomach when she resisted.

“It is believed that the suspect had taken nude photos of the second victim and threatened to spread the photos if she lodged police report,” he said, adding that the second man had also poured bleach on the victim’s face and body.

The victims later lodged a police report at Pandan Indah police station.

Hamzah said both victims were brought to Ampang Hospital for an examination.

Two men, aged 34 and 40, have since been arrested at different locations at 10am yesterday and 2am this morning in Ampang.

Hamzah said the duo tested positive for methamphetamine. They have been remanded until Aug 1 to facilitate investigation.

The case is being investigated under Section 376 for rape and Section 395/ 397 for gang robbery.
